School Overview

Tucked into the rolling hills of Perry County, West Perry Middle School serves a tight-knit rural community where neighbors know each other and school events genuinely bring the town together. Academics here sit solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with science being a relative strength, making it a comfortable fit for families who value a grounded, small-town school experience over a high-pressure environment. Elliottsburg itself is quiet and unhurried — the kind of place where kids have room to breathe, and the school feels like a natural extension of the community around it.
